Lodz Blouse Trilogy

Lódz Blouse Trilogy and the related exhibitions utilise the photograph ‘A Party in the Ghetto’ by Henryk Ross. The work seeks to explore and present memory (retrieved memory and inherited memory) and experience imbued in the clothes we wear. The work develops my investigation into dye sublimation technology/digital embroidery on reclaimed, facsimile and deconstructed garments. I have drawn upon the textile methods used in textile production and manufacture, at times working in reverse to unpick or cut into the garments I have had special permission from the Museum and Art Gallery on Ontario to use ‘A Party in the Ghetto’ by Henryk Ross.
